People in Conferred Gods: Rising from humble beginnings, I am the God of Wealth

Chaos knows no time.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xuan slowly awoke and solemnly bowed to the Dao Ancestor on the cloud platform.

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for bestowing upon me the Dharma."

"No need for formalities," Dao Ancestor waved his hand.

"All living beings under heaven follow different paths. Once they reach the Primordial Chaos Realm, there is no fixed path to follow. This old Daoist is merely evolving his own Dao."

As for your path, what is right and what is wrong, you must walk that path yourself.

"As for your path, if you believe it to be right, then it is right; just keep moving forward."

Yang Xuan nodded slightly. Having observed the path of Dao Ancestor Hongjun in his pursuit of the Dao over the years, he naturally knew these things.

In other words, once one cultivates to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, there is no possibility of replication, and the path after Primordial is even more so.

Once you reach the Primordial Chaos Realm, there is no distinction between right and wrong. The Dao Ancestor demonstrated his own Dao to Yang Xuan.
It was simply to let Yang Xuan see how he cultivated, to give Yang Xuan some insights, to point him in a direction, and to help him avoid some detours.

For Yang Xuan, this was enough, giving him a clearer understanding of his future cultivation and how to improve his cultivation and realm while comprehending the Great Dao.

Having said all that needed to be said, Dao Ancestor Hongjun put away the Creation Jade Disc, gently waved his sleeve, and opened the gates of Zixiao Palace.

Yang Xuan was eager to return and verify his thoughts, so without delay, he bowed and flew towards the prehistoric world.

……

flood.

While the sages went to Zixiao Palace to discuss matters, the affairs of the prehistoric world were not neglected.

Especially after learning the truth about the Great Tribulation of Journey to the West, the saints dared not delay.

They either created an avatar or sent their three corpses into the primordial world, carrying the tokens given to them by Yang Xuan, and arrived at the myriad worlds located on Mount Sumeru in the west.
They opened up a brand new world, connected the three realms, and created internal platforms belonging to their respective forces.

He then summoned his disciples and instructed them to manage and promote this platform exclusively for them.

This will enhance the influence of forces such as the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, and Buddhism, while also strengthening the connection between the Three Realms of the Primordial World and the countless large, medium, and small worlds of the Primordial World.

Their missionary work is no longer limited to the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man; it extends to countless other worlds.

However, they are, after all, a sect of saints, and even if they are only preaching, there are corresponding thresholds. Not just anyone is qualified to receive their inheritance.

Even the Buddhist community has set a relatively high threshold for this missionary work, which will spread to billions of worlds.

In fact, their original intention was to eliminate all barriers, seize the initiative, and spread their teachings throughout the world.

When the primordial world evolves into countless realms, the lineages they passed down will generate a massive amount of fortune, leading to the great prosperity of Buddhism.

But now that Yang Xuan has attained sainthood, the rules he established cannot be openly violated even by the two Western Saints.

Moreover, this was a condition that the two Western Saints themselves agreed to when Yang Xuan achieved the status of a Quasi-Saint and incorporated the Western Paradise into the myriad worlds.

From that time on, Yang Xuan's "I-I-Corpse" became the true Buddhas of the Buddhist realm, possessing the decision-making power of the Buddhist sect.

Even before Yang Xuan became a saint, he was able to use his status as a True Buddha of the Heavens to get the Buddhist sect to do more human work and stop focusing solely on spreading the religion for the sake of the Western Paradise.

Now that Yang Xuan has become a saint, his words naturally carry more weight. He said that when Buddhism spreads its teachings in the heavens and the world, it should set thresholds. Would Tathagata and Dipankara dare to say a word of 'no'?

Moreover, Yang Xuan's actions only slowed down the spread of Buddhism, which, in the long run, was more beneficial to Buddhism.

When Yang Xuan was still a sage, he had already proven with his actions that the Buddhist community should do more human affairs and not spread its teachings for the sake of the Western world, which would increase the influence of Buddhism.

Especially with the establishment of the Three Realms Platform and the integration of the Three Realms Network into the lives of all living beings in the prehistoric world, the effects of this decision have become even more apparent.

With the Three Realms Network, communication among all beings in the prehistoric world is no longer limited by distance, and the bad things that Buddhism did back then can easily spread throughout the prehistoric Three Realms.

If Yang Xuan hadn't asked the Buddhist sect to do more, it would have been very difficult for them to spread their teachings throughout the Three Realms.

It was precisely for this reason that Yang Xuan's prestige in Buddhism gradually increased.

Some Buddhists and Bodhisattvas even believe that Yang Xuan's actions to hinder Buddhism and prevent its spread were for the sake of Buddhism's future.

If Yang Xuan hadn't interfered, Buddhism would have done even more bad things, and its reputation would have been even worse once the Three Realms Network was established.

Gradually, many people stopped calling Yang Xuan "the enemy of Buddha" and instead sincerely chanted "the true Buddhas of all heavens"!
When the two Western Saints learned of this, they were furious.

Yes, if Yang Xuan hadn't interfered, the reputation of Buddhism would indeed have been even worse once the Three Realms Network was established.

But shouldn't you guys think about this: who the hell created this Three Realms Network?!

If the Three Realms Network didn't exist, or if the Three Realms Network were controlled by Buddhism, would these things still be possible?
At that time, the two Western Saints wanted to retaliate and reduce Yang Xuan's influence in Buddhism.

Unfortunately, before they could even begin, Yang Xuan had already attained sainthood.

Even more critically, Yang Xuan's establishment of the Three Realms Network and the Space Teleportation Network is crucial to the further evolution of the prehistoric world. How can they possibly retaliate against this?
This concerns the evolution of the primordial world. If they dare to cause trouble, they would be making enemies of all the saints. How could they have the guts to do that?

Moreover, they were the culprits behind the decline of Tao and the rise of Demons, and this occurred at the crucial juncture of the evolution of the primordial world into the myriad realms.

If not handled properly, not only will the primordial world be damaged, but its evolution may even fail, and they will not escape the punishment of the Dao Ancestor.

The solution to this matter, along with the corresponding plan for the evolution of the primordial world into countless realms, was proposed by Yang Xuan.

They were counting on Yang Xuan to help them get through this ordeal, so how could they possibly cause Yang Xuan any trouble?
It's just that setting thresholds for spreading the word and slowing down the pace of spreading the word, but from a long-term perspective, this kind of spreading of the word can gain more devout believers and enhance the prestige of Buddhism.

Great news! This is really great news! Even if Yang Xuan wasn't a saint and didn't lead the future development of Buddhism, they would still have done this, and it's definitely not because of Yang Xuan.

With the leadership of sage sects such as Jiejiao, Chanjiao, and Buddhism, coupled with the information exchange era brought about by the Three Realms Network, this was a significant development.

In less than a thousand years, the news spread throughout the Three Realms of the Primordial World, and all the major powers knew about it.

Although they didn't know the purpose of the Church of Saints' actions, they knew that they should follow suit and do exactly what the Church of Saints did.

Moreover, they also heard that during the process of spreading their teachings across billions of worlds, the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, and Buddhism had experienced considerable friction, resulting in constant insults on the Three Realms Internet.

In recent years, there have been many fights, and many people have been injured.

As for the reason, it's quite simple. The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, being members of the Xuanmen sects, already disliked Buddhism because of the Journey to the West calamity and the westward diversion of fortune.

However, out of respect for the Dao Ancestor and the other sages, they had no choice but to reluctantly comply.

But when they spread the word in the vast, medium and small worlds, they are also acting on the orders of the sages. Can they still continue to indulge Buddhist disciples?

In addition, there was the incident of the Investiture of the Gods, so any minor friction would be settled with both old and new grudges.

At first, they might be somewhat restrained, but arguments or online insults might still occur.

The insults escalated into a real-life confrontation, and then it evolved into the classic scenario where the younger brother was beaten up and the older brother came to the rescue.

Clearly, the Xuanmen and the West are not of one mind. Although it's not quite a case of the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits, at least they still have a chance to profit from it. After understanding these things, the many powerful figures in the prehistoric world no longer hesitated and immediately arranged for their disciples and younger generations to travel to countless worlds to spread the Dao.

Although the Sage Sect is a top power in the prehistoric world, in the end, it only has a small number of people. Even if they all came out, it would be insignificant to billions of worlds.

With the involvement of numerous powerful forces from the primordial world, things changed dramatically; the commotion instantly became many times greater.

For these large, medium and small forces, the arrival of beings from the primordial three realms brought about earth-shattering changes.

They not only perfected their traditions and developed a more suitable system of practice, but also further established a business network.

Previously, these spiritual items could only be seen on the Three Realms Network, but could not be purchased; now they can be purchased.

In some worlds where network base stations and space transmission platforms have been established, it is even possible to purchase desired spiritual items without leaving home.

This change is even more pronounced in worlds where network base stations have not yet been established and where people are unaware of the Three Realms Network.

In just tens of thousands of years, the connections between the Three Realms of the Primordial World and the countless large, medium and small worlds have become closer, and the Primordial World has become more prosperous.

Such changes are obvious to everyone, and everyone who understands the Three Realms Network and the space teleportation platform is grateful to Yang Xuan.

Unbeknownst to him, Yang Xuan's faith in the prehistoric world had visibly increased, and the power of his faith was almost solidifying.

The influence of business ethics in the ancient world is deeply rooted and unshakable.

The changes in the primordial world over the years have been so great, how could the chaotic gods and demons not be blind?

In the west, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Figures dressed in black and green robes gathered here to discuss the changes in the prehistoric world in recent years.

"What is the Primordial Saint trying to do?"

The figure in black robes frowned slightly, puzzled.

"The Investiture of the Gods calamity has only just ended, and the primordial world has only just evolved into the Three Realms. There are still at least a hundred eons to go before the next evolution."

This so-called Journey to the West Calamity was clearly just a formality by Hongjun, intended to bring prosperity to the West and settle past karmic debts. What, then, is their purpose in causing such a commotion?

"Isn't it obvious?" The green-robed figure chuckled.
"The Way of Commerce is Yang Xuan's fundamental path, and it still has room for growth. It is only natural that he would spread the influence of the Way of Commerce from the Three Realms of the Primordial World to countless large, medium, and small worlds."

Since Yang Xuan intends to develop countless worlds, it's natural for the Heavenly Dao Saints to allow him to monopolize all the benefits. It's only reasonable for them to send their disciples into these worlds to spread their teachings.

Compared to developing countless worlds, I am more concerned about the increasingly tense relationship between Buddhism and Taoism.

At this point, the green-robed figure narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, and turned to look at the black-robed figure beside him:

"Although Yang Xuan interfered and the Journey to the West didn't go as well as we had hoped, it's nearing its end, and the Xuanmen's fortune is being diverted westward."
Now that Yang Xuan has developed countless worlds, he has provided both Buddhism and Taoism with a platform to settle their karmic debts, further exacerbating the karmic entanglements between them. The day when the Tao declines and demons rise is not far off!

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figure's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Everyone says Yang Xuan is resourceful and wise, but he's made a terrible move. His actions have indeed enhanced the influence of the business world and made the prehistoric land more prosperous."
Little did he know that his actions exacerbated the karmic entanglement between Taoism and Buddhism, creating an even more rare opportunity for us.

The thought of the day when the Dao would decline and the demons would rise made the black-robed figure feel better.

Judging from the current situation, the Journey to the West will end within one Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese calendar).

At that time, the fortunes of Buddhism will soar, while the fortunes of Taoism will plummet and continue to decline.

At this time, the Tao will decline and the demons will rise, and their long-planned scheme can begin to be implemented.

At most, in another ten cycles, the fortune of the Xuanmen sect will drop to a critical value.

When that time comes, it will be the day when the chaotic gods and demons descend upon the primordial world!

"We can't be careless; Yang Xuan is ultimately an unpredictable figure."

“I know this person. I have never underestimated him. We should pay more attention to him.”

The figure in black robes nodded, then, as if he had thought of something, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face showed a puzzled expression.

"It's strange, really. Why haven't we heard a word about the Seven Emotions God and Demon all these years?"

"He probably feared that we would use him as bait to attract the attention of the Primordial Saints, so he found a place to hide."

The figure in green robes shrugged, not taking it to heart.

Anyway, the Seven Emotions God and Demon are useless now, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to be the bait. Among the three thousand gods and demons, there are always other candidates.

As long as nothing like the surrender to the Primordial World happens, it doesn't matter if the Seven Emotions Gods and Demons want to leave.

As for surrendering...

"She's not that stupid."

The green-robed figure chuckled softly, then continued discussing matters of the primordial world with the black-robed figure.

at the same time.

Yang Xuan's evil corpse left Zixiao Palace and returned to the outside of the primordial membrane.

"Huh? This is..."

Just then, the Destiny Plate in Yang Xuan's arms suddenly trembled slightly, as if it had sensed something.

"Another fragment of the compass of fate?"

Yang Xuan frowned slightly. After hesitating for a moment, a wisp of pure energy flew out from between his eyebrows and headed towards the direction sensed by the Fate Compass.

Besides the Way of Commerce, Yang Xuan's mastery of the Great Way of Destiny is the highest. He has mastered 99% of the Great Way of Destiny and is only a hair's breadth away from completely mastering it.

He had a premonition that if he could make the fortune chart more complete...

By comprehending the Daoist principles on the Destiny Chart, he may soon be able to fully grasp the Great Dao of Destiny, elevate his business acumen to a higher level, and further advance his cultivation.

Regardless, he was determined to get this fragment.

The problem is that this Fate Compass is very likely the magical treasure of the God of Fate, and perhaps the other fragment sensed by the Fate Compass is in the hands of the God of Fate.

Now, in the chaos, Yang Xuan is just a wicked corpse. How could he possibly be a match for the gods and demons of fate?

Simply passing by won't get us this fragment.

In the primordial world, in the Heavenly Court, Yang Xuan's true form slowly opened his eyes...

P.S.: I had an upset stomach this morning and was stuck in the bathroom. I just finished writing this. (End of Chapter)
